We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Auchendinny
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
